New European Union rules on Animal By-Products Regulations, which govern the disposal of catering and food waste, have been agreed in Brussels (14 November).
The regulation lays down health rules in relation to animal by-products not intended for human consumption.

The regulation will come into force in the UK from February 2011 to give time for detailed rules to be agreed under implementing legislation. The full article can be read here
